Chapter 37 Want to Eat Meat
Indeed, right now, this family simply doesn't have the money to build a new house.
Our family is currently facing extreme financial difficulties, with elderly parents to support and children still in school to raise.
They barely have enough to eat and drink, so how could they possibly afford to build a new house?
Moreover, they've only just begun to recover from the huge debt they incurred last time.
She hadn't actually considered that.
Qiao Wanyin was only thinking about getting her family back to the village, but she overlooked the most important issue—money!
If they don't have money, even if they return to the village, they won't be able to live in a spacious and sturdy new house.
Sigh, once you get a bad reputation, it's really hard to explain yourself.
Especially in rural areas where personal relationships and reputation matter.
Once a single sentence spreads, no matter how right you are, it will be very difficult to wash away the "stain" on your reputation.
In order to escape and leave her home, she had done many outrageous things.
It caused quite a bit of gossip in the village.
"Second sister-in-law, I was wrong to not think things through. I'm really sorry."
Qiao Wanyin was composed and her tone showed no impatience as she looked at Liu Suqin with sincere eyes.
"How about this, I'll definitely earn enough money to build you new houses within three months!"
The moment she uttered those words, she already had a plan in mind.
That wasn't just a casual, perfunctory remark meant to comfort someone.
Instead, they had already planned out how to take each step in the future.
This is not just a promise, but a gamble.
Three months is enough!
While those memories from the past life had not yet faded.
With room for maneuver in her hands, what does this little goal amount to?
She has a spatial ability and has read the novel, so she knows what will happen next.
She still clearly remembers the story of how the protagonist in the novel used a cheat code to gradually reach the top.
Since I have the opportunity to restart my life, why can't I do better than others?
If you don't even have this much ability, then you've wasted your rebirth.
Liu Suqin sneered through her nose.
"You really think money grows on trees? You paid off your debts before by relying on Fu Zhiqing's dowry, didn't you?"
These words carried a clear sense of sarcasm.
"You're just having a bit of luck right now, don't think too highly of yourself."
"Do you know how expensive it is to build a new house? Three months? Forget three years, we don't even know if we can afford it!"
She spoke without any mercy, clearly unwilling to believe that the girl in front of her could actually do it.
Qiao Wanyin raised her head, her eyes resolute.
"You may not believe in my character, but please don't doubt my abilities!"
She is not afraid of being misunderstood, nor is she afraid of being looked down upon.
She was only afraid that her abilities and efforts would be glossed over.
That's what really made her angry.
More than the accusations of gossip, she hated the contempt of others.
They assumed she would fail before she even started trying.
"Hongmei, please listen to your little sister!"
Qiao Jianguo quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
He was the eldest son in his family, and had always been gentle in nature. He also knew that his wife was a calculating person.
He quickly interjected, hoping to ease the tension.
“This wild boar meat was indeed brought back by my younger sister herself. Since she dared to make that promise, let’s give her a chance to try.”
He didn't fully believe that Qiao Wanyin could do this.
I just wanted to give my sister a chance, and also give my family something to look forward to.
He realized that his sister was just looking for a reason to let them go home.
She hopes the family can be reunited.
Once they get home, things will be much easier.
Once we return to the old house, everything can be replanned, including our future path.
Besides, three months is not a short time.
His wife might have already forgotten about it by then.
Qiao Jianguo secretly hoped that things would pass by in time.
As a result, Qiao Wanyin's pressure naturally decreased.
My younger sister really knows how to think!
Qiao Jianguo nodded to himself. At this moment, he truly realized that Qiao Wanyin was no longer the little girl who could be manipulated by her family.
He Cuilian also chimed in, "Hongmei, it's normal for couples to argue. Every family has its ups and downs. Life just gets better with time. Your brother and I used to argue a lot, but we're still doing fine, aren't we?"
While persuading them, she led them into the house with a smile on her face.
Firstly, I wanted to ease the tension and prevent the two relatives from having an awkward argument.
Secondly, she didn't want her sister-in-law Liu Suqin and her daughter Qiao Miaomiao to stay in her house all the time.
After all, life is really tight right now.
They're already struggling to make ends meet; if two more mouths to feed come in, it's simply unbearable for anyone.
In reality, Liu Suqin's relationship with her sister-in-law only appeared to be okay on the surface.
We weren't really close; there was a bit of awkwardness between us.
In order to help her husband's family, Liu Suqin often secretly brought grain, oil, and salt from her own family to support them.
But she couldn't hide these things from her sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law had a lot of complaints about this.
It was just that there were various inconveniences at the time that prevented it from happening.
Liu Suqin wasn't stupid; she could tell the meaning behind her sister-in-law's words—on the surface, it was just to comfort her.
In reality, they just didn't want her to stay any longer because she was lingering.
She couldn't bring herself to say those words, but she conveyed them indirectly through her words.
This way, she wouldn't lose face or composure, and she would know when to leave.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; what can she say?
What else can we do besides silently swallow these feelings?
"Remember this: three months!"
Her voice trembled slightly.
“If you don’t have money on that day,” he paused, a determined glint in his eyes, “your second brother and I… will have no choice but to continue our separation!”
In the end, Liu Suqin could only leave with her daughter Miaomiao in her arms, looking back every few steps, and return to the Qiao family home.
But deep down she didn't believe her sister-in-law could earn enough money to build a new house in three months!
"Mom, whose meat smells so good? The aroma travels so far, it smells amazing!"
Qiao Miaomiao's crisp voice came from behind.
I haven't even reached my doorstep yet.
The little girl was drawn to the strong fragrance that filled the air.
Little Radish had no idea that wild boar meat had entered their home.
I thought it was some big family cooking something delicious today, and my little tongue was practically sticking out in anticipation.
"Waaah~ Miaomiao wants to eat meat too! Daddy, when will we be able to eat meat?"
Her voice was soft and childlike.
As she spoke, she tilted her round face up, blinked her bright eyes, and looked at Qiao Jianguo with anticipation.
"Miaomiao!"
Qiao Wanyin's eyebrows relaxed, and she called out in a light tone.
"Want to guess if this meaty aroma is coming from our house? Can you smell it?"
The little girl blinked, then pouted her rosy lips, looking incredulous.
"I don't believe it! My aunt is the best at lying!"
She spoke with her hands behind her back and her face slightly raised.
She still remembers it.
